What We Need.
Newberyu Obserrer.

A great deal is being said now and
has been said for the past twenty
years about "brldging the bloody
chasm" between North and South.
That is all very we'll as far as it goes;
but what we need far more than that
is to bridge the bloody cI asms among
our own people-the protection of
human life in our own State. Leav-
ing the dead issues Of the war to take
care of themselves, our urgent and
pressing duty is to settle this live is
sue Of today. The ''era Of good
feeling all good citizens want in
South Carolina is that which will en-
brace our own citizens and will make
them peaceable, law. abiding, law
respecting and harmonious. While
1t is desirable to cultivate friendly
relations with our former foes, yet it
will do US very little practical good
so long as we cherish malice and re-
sentiment and the spirit of revenge
among ourselves. The blood that
was shed on the battle fields Of Viz
ginia quarter Of century ago need
not concern US beyondEseasure it is
the blood that is bei-.shed now, of
our own citizens by our own citizens,
in private brawls, in every portion of
our own State.

DR.. Burkhead at Montgomery.
Special to atlanta Constitution.

Special to atlanta Constitution.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 1l.-The
officers Of the Presbyterian church
called on DR.. J. D. Burkhead, pastor,
this evening and presented tire reso.
lutions adopted at the meeting of The
congregation, urging him not to &C.
cept the call to Admission, and ex-
pressing their love and appreciation
for him. This church numbers a
membership of FIVE hundred, and is
probably the wealthiest in the city.
They pay tue pastor $4,000 yearly.
and give him residence: The An
niston church has a membership of
only fifty, but offers the same com.
pensation. Both the Episcopal and
First Baptist churches here give their
preachers thousand dollars more
than DR.. Burkhead receives, and un-
less the congregation increases the
salary it is probable that he will &C.
cept the call to Admission. Dr..
Burkhead is most eloquent divine,
and the entire community regret his
leaving. His congregation will prob
ably offer sufficient inducement to
him to remain.
Late tonight DR.. Burk head noti-
fed the committee that he would de.
cline the call to Admission.

PRICE $3.50 A YEAR
Kind Words for the South.
From tile Neac York Herald.

1t is very clear that the South has
recognized tie value of its natural
resources and proposes to make the
most OF them. Old King Cotton,
who for three generations ruled with
undlsputed sway, has found mighty
rival IN the immense beds of iron ore
which have been unearthed in Ala.
oama' Georgia, North Carolina, Mis-
souri, and a half dozen other local..
ties. In 1880 Alabama had a capaci.
ty for producing one hundred and
thirty Thousand tons of pig iron, but
last year she ran the figures Up 20
nearly four hundred thousand. Ten
nessee gave jump from one hundred
and fhlrty-one thousand to three hun.
dred and fifty thousand, and Virginia
emulated her example by leaping
from one hundred and twenty.nine
thousand to two hundred and seventy
eight thousand. It is closely esti-
mated that in the next ten years the
Southern States will be able to turn
into the market something like two
millions tons of pig iron annually.
There are also foundries, steel rail
mills, carriage and wagon factories,
lumber mills, agricultural implement
factories, cotton mills, in a word.
every kind of enterprise which draws
capital and invites immigration.
All this constitutes one of the hap
plest omens Of our national future.
The old feud which had its origin in
slave labor and made it impossible
for North and South to shake hands
with anything like genuine cordiality
has died out. It was the sole cause
of the thousand MISUNDERSTANDING
which fretted and teased every
patriot, and were the disnay of every
statesman. The frebrand has been
thrown into the Atlantic. Every
possibility of sectional disagreement
was extinguished at the same time.
Now the South has joined US. It
has ws..-~~ up to a recognition of the
facts of the case. 1t has iron, coal.
limestone, mill streams, a rich soil
everything that a great people need
to make them prosperous and happy.
And hereafter there is to be a tire.
mendous rivalry between two sections
Of our common country. 1t Will not
be political, as heretofore, but CON-
mercial. 1t will not drag US apart,
but draw US together. Southern cap
ital will find it's way into Northern
enterprises, and northern capital will
fine safe investment in Southern
mills and manufactures. It is new
epoch IN our history upon which we
have just entered, and our children's
children will reap the benefits Of it.

One Hundre Il and Twenty Years Old.
From the Raleigh Neacs.

A correspondent Of the Concord
Times has found a man in Stanly
county one hundred and twelve years
old. His name is Billy Whitley.
The correspondent says Of him: "He
remembers distinctly seeing the SOL
diers coming home from the reyolu-
tionary war. He married at 80 years
old and lived with his wife 73 years
who died at the age Of 10l, in 1881.
He has in his possession a gun used in
the fight at Yorktown by gentleman
who heard the conversation between
CORVALLIS and Washington at the
surrender. With this gun uncle
Billy has probably killed more deer
than any other man in North Caro-
lima. He has also pocketbook
which belonged to his father, and is
possibly 125 or $50 years old. He
has bis third set of teeth-not from
the dentist. but from God. He cut
his last set at the youthful age of lO9.
TO show the strength Of his manhood
yet, it is enough to state that last
winter he cut wood, cut up and split
into fine wood large dead tree and
last year sprouted fourteen acres Of
ground. lie has lived member of
the old aohool Baptist church for
more than sixty years. Never was
known to tell lie, never had law
suit, never took a dose Of medicine,
and never paid a doctors bill. lie
fired off the old musket over the
heads of the immense crowd, after
which a tremendous shout of three
cheers was given him.
"One felt like taking off his hat in
the presence CT this venerable man
of four generations back"

A Queer Case OF Duality Which is Ex-
citing Justice in Iowa
From the omaha Republican.

From the omaha Republican.
Anamosa, Ia., has a case of twins
that is exciting a good deal of inter.
est. A man is confined in the peni.
tentiary for the crime of bigamy, who
claims that he is the victim of cir
cumstances. He says that the Of
fence was not committed by him, but
by bis twin brother, who looks so
much like him that they were always
compelled to 60 about labelled so
that each could tell himself from the
other. The women in the case think
they know what they are talking
about. but great many people think
they do not, and that really some one
has mixed those babies up
A number of letters has been writ
ten to the warden from parties who
plead for the twin, as they say, who
is unlawfully confined, and condemn
the heartlessness of the other twin,
who has escaped. Some letters pur-
porting to be from the missing bro
ther have also been received at tie
penitentiary, but experts say that
they are all in the same handwriting.
An appeal was made to Governor
Larrabee in behalf Of the prisoner,
but after considering the case he re-
fused to interfere, although admit
ting there are circumstances which
cast doubt on the justice of the pun
ishment.

4 Philadelphia Newspaper Cashier
Joins the Great Army Of Defaulters.

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-Jos. 81.
White, who has been cashier of the
Times newspaper office for about ten
years, is said to be defaulter to the
amount of at least $4,000. An ex-
animation of Whites books was made
a short time ago, and as conse-
quence be was asked to tender his
resignation, which he did. The mon.
ey taken by him vas squandered in
a lavish way in maintaining a posi-
tion in society which his salary Of
$4,000 per year would not warrant.

SHAKEN OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Destruction Of Mexican Town at the
Birth of a Volcano.
SDeciQt 10 the New York Herald.

NA'S
only active volcano in North Ameri.
ca. The trip was one of extraordi-
nary hardship, accomplished in the
face of obstacles Of which the entire
absence Of any road, an arid desert
of over one hundred miles across and
the blazing sun Of tropical zone
were conspicuous features. The vol
cano lies twelve miles, as the crow
8 flies, from Bavispe, in The State Of
Sonora, in the extreme northwest
3 corner of the Mexican Republic. A
rough estimate will place the dis
tance from Ell Paso at four hundred
miles, calculating on bee line.
BAyIsPE SHAKEN OUT OF EXISTENCE.
The eighth day brought the Herald
explorers into the vicinity Of Bavispe;
but little prior to this We had the
first intimation Of cosmic disturbance
in the shape Of luttering tremor Of
the earth. These shocks, which were
slight and undulating Increased in
frequency as we drew near the town,
until scarcely an hour elapsed without
q repetition Of them. We came in
sight Of Bavispe at about ten o'clock
in the morning, and the first thing
that met our sight was huddled en-
campment OF several hundred people
on the broad mesa that fanks the
town. Bavispe itself may be spoken
Of in the past tense-it no longer ex-
lists. On the 1st of last May, just at
the gray Of dawn, the villagers were
awakened by sickening shudder of
the earth, followed by quick tremor
that reduced half of the abodes of the
place to ruins. Creeping out from
the wreck of their dwellings they
sought safety on the level ground,
where a sort Of encampment was
formed, and thence in time the entire
village has migrated. Since that
morning of desolation and terror
there has been no day unaccompanied
by an earthquake Sometimes it has
been so violent as to loosen masses
of rock and pen vast assures in the
mountain side, and sometimes it is
an almost imperceptible vibration,
but never has it entirely ceased, and
the superstitious Mexicans have
! given themselves up to the apathy Of
q despair. Our appearance, which in
other times would have convulsed the
5lIage with excitement, scarcely at
acted attention. A few half-naked
and haggard women struggled

TIE VOLCANO AT WORK.

From Bavispe we had our first
sight of our objective point-the
volcano. A pennaut Of smoke,
trailed by the wind from low,
square topped peak to the southwest,
defined its location; while a dull and
muttering roar, almost incessant, told
that the forces of nature were at
york. The volcano lies about twelve
miles from the site Of the town, but
over such an extraordinarily broken
tract of country that we realized at
once that it would require two days
